About Volumetric Off Site Manufacturing------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Even the most untrained eye can see at a glance that a traditional building site - open to the elements, with untidy piles of materials lying around, often no proper facilities for the staff and so on - is not conducive to fault-free high-quality homes. The process is analogous to building high quality cars - few people could be convinced that having a car built in the open-air by operatives standing up to their ankles in mud would automatically ensure a high quality, fault free product. And so it is with homes. Of course, off site manufactured components are already used within most construction projects - windows, roof trusses, kitchen units and the like, but this still leaves the principal activity, the construction, to be site based and subject to all the traditional problems and difficulties. V-OSM transfers the traditional building process into a controlled factory environment. Hunter V-OSM homes are the next generation of timber framed house, complying with all current industry standards and approved specifications. They are recognised by the industry and warranty bodies and meet or exceed all current environmental requirements. An innovative and efficient V-OSM production plant allows continual monitoring of quality, workmanship, cost and programme. Fully understood and implemented, V-OSM is flexible enough to produce bespoke projects without the need for mass production. The key benefits of V-OSM are:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Hunter------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hunter is proud to be a World-Class Organisation firmly in the vanguard of V-OSM. By harnessing the full potential of V-OSM we are able to effectively handle larger scale projects while being flexible enough to produce bespoke homes without the need for mass production. Our understanding and commitment to V-OSM is founded on our background of house building, off-site manufacturing and project management within both private and public sectors. Previous experience is as diverse as nuclear power stations, operating theatres, car manufacture and off-shore oil rigs, as well as prestigious city apartments. We mention these because, although they are set at a distance from V-OSM, they are not low or casual quality industries, but industries where a lack of quality and attention to detail clearly bring serious financial risks. We bring skills and experience from these industries, along with good commercial and innovative judgement, and an unwavering belief that if we do not consistently give our clients the very best service, someone else will. Most of all, we are a World-Class organisation. World-Class is not a reflection of size or number of employees, it is to do with attitude and a belief in World-Class values. Values such as flexibility, innovation, client service, integrity, strength of character and good humour. Our belief in World-Class values includes the following: SUSTAINABILITYWe must leave this world a better place or be accused of betraying the generations yet to come. We must use sustainable sources of supply wherever possible. We must build homes that cause minimum impact on the world around us as they are built and are thrifty on our scarce resources during their life. ACCESSIBILITYEverything is possible, we are easy to deal with, helpful with suggestions and we will go to extraordinary and uncommercial lengths to satisfy clients. We offer unbiased help, advice and assistance. INNOVATIONA crucial role within our business is the continual research of innovative manufacturing and building techniques. Hunter is in the vanguard for innovation, but we never confuse innovation for dropping of standards. PRICINGAlthough our pricing is highly competitive, we do not choose to compete solely on price. By far the greatest value is our flexibility, innovation and understanding of what clients are trying to achieve. QUALITYNothing but the highest. STRENGTH OF CHARACTERWe will not bear false witness. We demand of ourselves and our clients the highest integrity. We are not afraid to tell a client that we cannot do his work, or that a competitor might suit them better, or that his design won't work, no matter how important the circumstances. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
